Rape Tape 1 part 2 - Jan 2008 - Whitechapel, London

Peter- Isn't Luke's house fit, by the way?
Sarah- It wasn-- no, no, it was too like... you could never make it very homely no matter what you did with it. I don't think. P- I really liked it...it was vast. S- It was, it was so spacious yeah, but it was just, like, I don't know, it kind of reminded me of Dean's old house, but I preferred Dean's old house.
P- But you could make it homely with just a lick of paint and maybe some nice pot plants and things in...
S- I like proper wood floors though, I don't like laminate floors...
P- Oh, was it a laminate floor? S- Yeah. P- I don't even remember. (whispering and laughing)
S- Maybe you should ashtray.
P- Don't! That's really horrible- I'd never do that to you. (Sarah laughing) I wouldn't. I never would.... Which one do we want? I don't know which one I like better. S- There's one better one and one not better one..
P- Yeah! I think it's this is it. S- Can I have a look? Is that two? Well, let's see, I know there is one (music starts playing) yeah, this is the good one after all. (smoke exhaling and sniffling noises) Oh, it's like I've had a blood transfusion and I-- P- Why are you taking up the entire bed? S- Oh for fuck's sake, I'll just go into a corner shall I? P- Well look at me dangling over the edge!
S- Oh well so bloody what? I would for you. (laughter) P- I can't wait until my painting is finished. S- It looked finished anyway. P- Did you see it? I think he might paint a cigarette in my hand because I think that's the one he used, of me smoking... Hmm, I don't know if I'm going to want all of this- do you? I'm ready for a journey! S- I don't think I can do another journey. I want a Valium. Give me a Valium, Peter. P- But I haven't even got one. S- But I really want one. P- Maybe we should just continue to do this... S- To do what? P- Maybe it's not two, maybe it's-- no it's two. S- Is there one left? P- Yeah, it's two,we've been listening to the other... S- Oh, and me and Mark also decided- um- he was trying to find your present, walking through town and... he saw a whole family of chavs. Well, ghetto chavs. um... and they were walking......... ferretts on leads!
P- Ahw!
S- So...what we wanted to do was kidnap the ferretts, and then (sniff)...um, we were going to sew them together. But we thought that might kill them. So we'll superglue them together to make an outfit!
P- (gasp!)
S- A moving, living outfit. To present to Jodie Harsh.
P- (inverted sigh and silent giggles)
S- and we'll... glue sequins and gems around their arseholes. So it would be like, sequinned, gemmed ferrett arseholes. And the garment will move.
P- That is beautiful.
S- Just like, different outfits that'll be like-
P- That really is so fit!
S- like: ski-vest;like: slinky dress; into a huge coat, and it will just swirl around and appear. Doesn't it sound amazing? And we're--it'll have sequins on it as well, cos we're going to stick them on with superglue. We want the ferretts to stay alive beause we really think that it would add something to the outfit. We actually wanted to wear it on Saturday, but we didn't get time to make it.
(sirens and indistinct talking and laughter)
P- ...isn't it? S- I didn't like her when she was here, she really annoyed the hell out of me. Like, more than she ever has before. P- (silent laughter) S- Maybe we should put the tape on someone else? (laughter)
P- It's almost run out anyway...
S- Which line do I want? P- Dunno? Do you want that one? (sniffing and music)
S- Can we get... a... video camera for when we g-go to America?
P- (sniff cough sniff sniff) Yeah (sniff) Yeah, we ca--

Rape Tape 1 - Jan 2008 - Whitechapel, London

I decided one day to record rapefests on the taperecorder Iona got me for my birthday. Each tape is transcribed verbatim. And under the effects of different drugs.
Tape one is Ketamine.
(scuffle)
Sarah-... the more stupid I get (giggle). I find me really funny, and you laugh at me, so I find me even more funny. And then you say something stupid and I find that hilarious and just... when someone is watching us and has got the look of... of... actually, you both need to be put in a mental home, on their faces... then, um, I act up even more. (laughter and music in the background)
(incoherent whispering). Peter- (cough)(television sounds) where did I put my cigarette...?
P- (sniff, sniff) S- What are we journeying to? ... what are we journeying to? I've got fucking scabs up my nose, and snot. P- I know-I tried to peel mine out. S- Don't!! It make- like, I did that yesterday before I went out, and I took the first bump of K I did, and, um, at Foreign, I literally thought my nose was going to explode, like, it hurt so much! Um... what shall we journey to?
P- Um... I don't know really... but not this. (singing in the background)
S- Uh, I don't know....are we recording this? I'm singing!
P- It's okay, it's fine.
S- I don't even want to listen to this anymore.
P- Me neither.
S- What shall we have on?
(sniffing and music: CocoRosie)
P- I thoug-- I thought I wanted a cigarette, but it's not what I want. Maybe I-
S- Maybe we should listen to The Velvet Underground for two seconds, just um... the ones I like...I wanted to do stuff today, well not stuff, like, just nothing. I wanted to finish my painting and I wanted to... um...watch 24, and I- I like- I set my alarm for half three, so I could go to Sainsbury's and get some things, and, but actually I set my alarm for like, half three, and not, fifteen-three um, thirty.
P- Yeah... S- And so it like... wouldn't go off.
P- Oh, I almost did that the other day, or I mean, last night. I almost set my... alarm for twelve midnight, rather than twelve noon. which is a bit silly, isn't it?
S- It's a good thing you didn't, like... have a pill or- I don't know.
P- What do you mean? S- Well good thing you woke up at like, half past one or whenever it was. P- Yeah, to three missed calls and a text.
S- from who?
P- Oh, three missed calls from work! But the text wasn't from work. But, I- I got there and Flo was apologizing to me for waking me up? She was like "Oh, I'm really sorry that, that I had to wake you up!" I was like "Are you kidding, I was, I'm the one who should be apologizing for being an hour late, on a Sunday, which is the busiest day. Funny.
S- Was it just the two of you working?
P- No, it was Shelley, Katie, Flo, and me. S- The whole time?!
P- No, Shelley left at like, two thirty, and Katie left at five thirty.
S- How in the hell do you fit, like, everyone in that thing?! There's no room though. There's room for about two people.
P- I know, it's ridicu- and even, at one point, um, what's his name? Maybe he's called David? Is there a David? Who knows... he's a manager at one of the other shops, he was there, he was in- he was making drinks as well, for himself, he was waiting for someone, so there was five of us. (Velvet Underground-Sunday Morning playing) Yeah, five of- and then Kim was there, he came back so actually it was six of us back there, we were like "We should do this every day just, everyone line up! S- Fucking hell... P- God, it was a nightmare. I hated it. Can we do a little bump of that, like, a little corner of it whilst we smoke? Bigger bump. Yeah. A line actually. S- This isn't really very even, one is really short and fat and the other one is just long, hehe... can you get- do you have a note?
P- Yeah, I'm sure I have one somewhere... S- ... Oh, there's a note up there! P- Yeah, I put it there. I think we should put this on you when you're... monged.
S- I don't get monged. P- You do mong. S- I don't.
